Additionally, they are just one game away from reaching their first European final in over two decades. Their remarkable feat is further highlighted by an incredible run of 48 games unbeaten, already setting a record for a team from one of Europe’s big five leagues.
With the Bundesliga title secured, Leverkusen has their sights set on an unprecedented invincible treble.

Midfielder Amine Adli echoes the sentiment of the team, expressing their unwavering determination to win every game while acknowledging the unpredictable nature of football. Despite the allure of maintaining their unbeaten run, the ultimate goal remains success in Europe, even if it means sacrificing their undefeated status.
As Leverkusen continues their pursuit of football immortality, the world watches with bated breath, witnessing the unfolding of a potentially historic season. With their eyes firmly set on multiple trophies, Xabi Alonso’s side stands on the precipice of etching their names in the annals of football history with an invincible treble.
